Eagan presses for cable price regulation Letter to Congress, FCC follows residents’ concerns over Comcast’s fee, rate increases by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

Prompted by residents’ concerns about Comcast’s new fees and service changes, Eagan Mayor Mike McGuire sent a formal complaint to the Federal Communications Commission and members of Congress urging them to create cable price regulations. The letter dated March 5 was sent to the FCC and its senior deputy chief of policy of the media bureau, and to 2nd District Rep. John Kline and Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken. Numerous residents

voiced their concerns to city officials in the past few weeks about a rate increase and new digital adapter requirements imposed by Comcast. Beginning Jan. 1, the company charged digital cable subscribers $1.99 per additional outlet, which enables customers to watch content on additional televisions. Customers access these connections with a Digital Transport Adapter, a small box that allows programming to be viewed by decrypting digital signals. Prior to this year, these customers could access up to three additional outlets

free of charge. At the same time, Comcast began requiring basic cable customers — those who typically subscribe to about 20 channels — to obtain a DTA to access cable content as the Philadelphia telecommunications company converted all content to digital. In addition to imposing new fees, Comcast’s rates have risen between 2.2 and 142.5 percent since Jan. 1 in Eagan and Burnsville. Equipment charges rose 66 percent during that time. Recent analysis has determined the new fees and rate changes will add

about $552 million to Comcast’s annual revenue. Rated 49th on the list of Fortune 500 companies, Comcast’s equity market value is $1.5 billion as of Jan. 31. The company raked in nearly $6 billion in net income. In the letter, Eagan officials contend that current regulation “fails to reflect the needs of consumers and local units of government seeking to protect those consumers from unreasonable price increases by cable operators that have the advantage of a natural monopoly.” The solution, they say, is for Congress to do the

following: restore local authority to regulate cable service and equipment fees, expand customer service standards to allow local governments to mandate transparent pricing, require the FCC to consider public interest when establishing cable rate increases and revisit the effective competition standards created by Congress in 1992 “to strengthen local control over rates imposed by cable providers.” Federal regulation pertaining to cable service rates hasn’t been revised since 1992.

City projects this year in Burnsville will include street reconstruction in the 12th Avenue industrial area and a new City Hall parking lot with environmentally friendly features. The City Council on March 5 ordered street rebuilding and related projects for the upcoming construction season. Bid awards are expected April 17. The three reconstruction projects are in the areas of 12th Avenue, West

Preserve Boulevard and Friendship Lane. The total cost of those projects is estimated at $5.85 million, which includes storm sewer replacement and other utility work. Proposed assessments to property owners total $1.41 million, at a cost of $2,700 for a city-average 90-foot lot. Under city policy, property owners pay 40 percent of street costs, and the city pays 60 percent. All utility costs are paid from city funds. During a March 5 pub-

Dan Carlson won’t let a disaster go to waste, whether it’s a raging apartment fire or a damaging storm. A former Burnsville cop with both events on his resume, Carlson has been named emergency preparedness coordinator for Dakota County. He begins work March 18. “You’re never going to have a perfect response,” said Carlson, whose job is part of the county sheriff’s office. “You try and minimize the impacts. You try to learn from each incident, whether it’s an exercise or the real thing, and then you make adjustments to the plan.” When thunderstorms damaged parts of Dakota County last June 19, Carlson, working as a consultant, helped coordinate the disaster-relief request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In 2008, as a Burnsville police sergeant and the city’s emergency management coordinator, Carlson was faced with 400 displaced residents three days before Christmas when fire destroyed one of two buildings at the former Burncliff Apartments.

In an effort to bring art into the public sphere, Eagan officials are seeking artists to create an art piece to display this summer on city property. There are few restrictions. The artwork can be a sculpture, mural, garden or any other public work. But it must reflects Eagan’s identity. “We want it to represent the community,” said Julie Anderson, Eagan Art House supervisor.

Former Eagan mayor supports gay marriage Burnsville legislator, pastor says he will go to jail before marrying a homosexual couple by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK

Pat Anderson stood on the end of a line of supporters gathered at the State Capitol on Wednesday, Feb. 27, to celebrate the dropping of same-sex marriage legislation into bill hoppers. Former Republican state auditor, former committeewoman to the Republican National Committee, Anderson’s presence at the press conference was not missed. “I believe this is an issue about freedom, liberty,” the former Eagan mayor said to a crowd of reporters. It’s about family, she said, nodding to milling same-sex couples tending their restless children a short distance away. Recently, Anderson has written and spoken out publicly about same-sex marriage and the meaning of being of Republican. “The Republican Party is very divided,” Anderson said.

Republicans. “I personally will go to jail before I ever perform a marriage to homosexuals,” said Sen. Dan Hall, R-Burnsville, a chaplain. “There is no gay gene,” said Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe. Being gay is a sexual choice, he said. Rep. Peggy Scott, RAndover, asked that the debate over same-sex marriage be transparent. There are lots of reasons, said Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, to believe Minnesotans are not ready for same-sex marriage. The defeat of the marriage amendment was not a broad hint from voters, some Republicans argue, that they’re ready for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Both bill supporters and opponents indicated they didn’t have a sense of how the vote currently breaks down in the Legislature. Sen. Sean Nienow, RCambridge, speaking in the Capitol corridor, said he understood where Republicans like Anderson were coming from — they were from the libertarian wing of the party, he said. Setting moral issues aside, it makes no sense to argue, Nienow argued, that government doesn’t

have a role to play in marriage. When people marry, they essentially sign a contract, he said. Government has a legitimate role in contract law. “No question,” he said. While suggesting the media would zero in on the “gay gene” comment, the whole matter of genetics is a side issue, Nienow said. Supporters of the same-sex marriage legislation insist passage would not force any religious faith to conduct marriages between same-sex partners if it ran contrary to their religious beliefs. One provision in the bill states that religious organizations, associations, or societies have “exclusive control” over their own theological doctrine and teachings. Further, it states that licensed or ordained members of the clergy authorized to perform marriages are not subject to any fine, penalty, or civil liability for failing or refusing to solemnize a marriage for any reason.

Tax on services ‘a wash’ for city of Burnsville City responds to Dayton budget by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Gov. Mark Dayton’s proposal to charge sales taxes on professional services would likely be a wash for the city of Burnsville, which spends millions each year on consultants. The DFL governor also proposes to lower the sales tax rate from 6.875 percent to 5.5 percent. An estimated $5.5 million of previously untaxed

contractual services would be subject to sales tax, according to Heather Johnston, the city’s chief financial officer. But the rate cut, which would lower taxes on city purchases, leaves “pretty much a wash,” Johnston said. “We thought it was going to be a lot more injurious to the city than maybe it’s going to be,” City Manager Craig Ebeling said. “The reduced tax rate also helps, because we pay a lot of sales taxes.” The proposed sales tax

on professional services has been widely criticized, especially by businesses, and Dayton has said he’ll unveil possible changes in his proposal next week in light of an improved state revenue forecast. Burnsville’s City Council approved on March 5 additions to its 2013 legislative agenda that address the sales tax proposal. “To the extent that the costs of an expansion of the sales tax to services are not offset by cost savings related to a decrease in rate, the expansion will

reduce the city’s ability to use those services,” the new language says. “The city does not support an expansion that will increase the total costs of providing services to residents.” Officials wonder whether some costs of operating the city’s Performing Arts Center would be subject to sales tax. The expenses of running it wouldn’t be taxed, but the management fee paid to center manager VenuWorks would be, said a city staff report.

Final legislation and subsequent rulemaking by the Department of Revenue would clear up the matter, Johnston said. If all arts center services are taxable, it would cost the city about $55,000, she estimates. The council’s response to Dayton’s budget includes a stand against “one-time fixed amount rebates to educe property taxes.” Dayton is proposing a rebate of up to $500 for all property taxpayers. Property tax relief should be more targeted,

the city maintains. “There could be some parts of greater Minnesota where that ($500) pays a person’s entire property tax,” Ebeling said. “Whereas here, it would be a much smaller portion.” The council is also calling on the state to exempt all local government purchases from sales tax. The exemption was ended in 1992. John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Opinion Be a hero and fight hunger with 360 Communities Minnesota FoodShare’s March Campaign is underway. About 300 food shelves statewide annually participate, including 360 Communities’ network of five food shelves. We recently hosted a Burnsville Chamber of Commerce coffee at our Burnsville headquarters, and so far 36 businesses have signed up to run a food drive for us during the month of March. This is the first time we have had this level of support during the March Campaign and the response is very much appreciated. Minnesota FoodShare’s campaign challenges all of us to, “Be the hero. Fight hunger.” And these business leaders are just some of the heroes who have stepped up throughout the year to support 360 Communities’ work in this area. Individuals, churches, scout troops, schools, businesses and many other community groups repeatedly answer the call, recognizing the impacts we can make when we join forces to affect positive

Guest Columnist

Sal Mondelli change. And make no mistake: the challenges we face as a community are difficult. Many of our neighbors are hurting and need a helping hand. According to Hunger Solutions, Minnesotans visited food shelves more than 3 million times in 2012. Last year, 360 Communities’ network of five food shelves received 33,583 visits – an increase of almost 18 percent from 2011. Consider this: according to the Greater Twin Cities United Way, 200,000 Minnesota children ages birth to 17 live in poverty. This represents a 60 percent increase since 2000. The number of children living in deep poverty doubled over

the same period. Deep poverty refers to households that earn less than half of the federal poverty line – that’s $11,525 for a family of four. During the March Campaign, 360 Communities is trying to raise $60,000 and collect 70,000 pounds of food. You can help us reach our goal by donating food or money to any of our five food shelves located in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington, Lakeville or Rosemount. Because our food shelves have access to discounted food items and programs, your cash donations can make a bigger impact than buying food at the grocery store. For example, a $10 donation to a 360 Communities food shelf would purchase more than $30 worth of food. And during the month of March, Minnesota FoodShare will stretch your dollars even further with its “Food Fund” dollars. Minnesota FoodShare has set a goal of raising $1 million to distribute to food shelves through its “Food Fund.” At the

end of the month, Minnesota FoodShare will tally up the campaign results for the participating food shelves and distribute “Food Fund” dollars, calculated on total dollars and pounds of food collected as well as number of clients served. Last year, 360 Communities raised more than $53,000 and collected 63,000 pounds of food during the March Campaign. Minnesota FoodShare contributed another $8,600 in “Food Fund” dollars – enough to feed an additional 1,200 people for a week. Let’s make March another month for heroes. Please join us and donate to 360 Communities. For more information, visit 360Communities.org.

Good intentions, no price tag in education report Good intentions, no price tag in new national education report by Joe Nathan

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan

SUN THISWEEK

There are good intentions but no price tag and too many priorities in a new national Equity and Excellence Commission report. Here’s a brief summary of the report and a few reactions. Several years ago, Congress created a 27-member group that included two national teachers’ union presidents, college faculty, several lawyers and directors of education advocacy organizations. Perhaps the commission’s most powerful words describe inequities in U.S. education opportunities compared to many other countries. It describes the current system as “unjust and unwise … we take the extraordinary diversity that should be our strategic advantage in the international economy and squander it.” The 50-page report has dozens of recommendations in five areas: • Improving school finance and efficiency • Teaching, leading and learning opportunities • Ensuring access to high-quality early childhood education

• Meeting the needs of students in high poverty neighborhoods • Governance and accountability to improve equity and excellence The report notes that many other countries ensure that high quality early childhood programs are available to all, that schools serving low-income students have higher funding, rather than less, as is the case in many states. The report praises other countries for doing a better job of recruiting and compensating teachers and school leaders. Commissioners call the U.S. “an outlier” among nations. Commission members insist we would have a much healthier economy if we dealt with these issues. They acknowledge that: “By some measures, we spend as much as or even more as a share of our gross domestic product than do other nations, which underscores that the amount of money spent is not the only factor affecting student achievement. … It is critical to

spend money strategically on things that work.” The commission recognizes the value of research but again, nothing on how much or how to most effectively spend research funds. The report has a single sentence referring to congressional promises regarding funding of students with special needs: “Financial support for these students (with disabilities) should meet the original federal commitment promised.” Yes, it should. Commission members should make that commitment a priority. Congressional funding for students with disabilities has never reached 30 percent of the overall cost, much less the 40 percent funding that Congress promised. Here’s a link to the report: http:// www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/eec/ index.html. As the report was released, I listened and asked two questions. Then via email, Minnesota Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius and I talked. “We did not provide input,” she said. That’s unfortunate, because the commissioner and governor know that many of the report’s recommendations will cost a lot of money. I asked, and commission members acknowledged that their report included dozens of recommendations

but not how much some would cost, or how to pay for them. Gov. Mark Dayton’s proposed education budget urges spending an additional $300 million on early childhood and K-12 education. He suggests more funding for strong programs serving 3 to 4-year-olds, kindergarten students, students with special needs, and greater funding equity among districts, all of which the commission recommends. Moreover, the state has identified outstanding district and charter public schools, and plans to arrange for them to help other schools. Sharing takes some, but not a lot of money. Cassellius praised the report’s tone. “All children deserve an equitable opportunity to succeed and excel,” she said. Agreed. Give the governor and commissioner credit for proposing a budget and taking other actions that help move Minnesota in the direction the national commission recommends. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher and administrator, direct the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters Conference aims to transform lives To the editor: Last week’s edition of the Sun Thisweek painted our district very negatively at a time when we need our community the most. I have contacted the paper asking for balanced and accurate stories instead of articles and headlines that incite and sensationalize issues. I want to be sure all community members have access to accurate information. In response to the article, I would like to clarify a few points: While the conference was held at the Tampa Marriott Waterside, the group did not stay there. The students shared three rooms at an alternate hotel at a much lower cost. It was not a “trip,” but an educational opportunity. The conference was chosen due to its history of promoting higher education for underserved populations. I would also like to clarify that this opportunity was not funded through the

district’s general fund. It was planned and funded from the Educational Equity & Excellence Service’s college readiness grant, which focuses on closing the achievement gap and follows the district’s strategic plan. These dollars must be used for these purposes in order to transform young lives and close the opportunity and achievement gaps. This was an incredible opportunity for seven young men from an underrepresented group of students to learn how to be leaders in our district and in their lives. It is unfortunate that this story was spun to be negative when it should have been portrayed as the transformational opportunity that it was and will continue to be. Minnesota has one of the largest achievement gaps in the country. In the past four years, our students of color have increased by 200 students. We now serve over 1,500 students of color. Although we have made great progress in narrowing the achievement gap,

a gap still exists. Different people need different opportunities to succeed which is what our vision of world-class, personalized learning for every student means. I hope community members will consider learning more and I invite you to come and hear them speak at the next board meeting on March 12.

How about a citizen editorial board? To the editor: I was pleased to see in your March 1 edition another letter to the editor from Richard Iffert, a very erudite and well-informed contributor. He seems to always hit the nail on the head about whatever issue he writes about and does so in a manner which makes one contemplate the issue long after reading his letter. I propose that the Sun Thisweek form a citizen editorial board for which mere citizens like Richard Iffert would have a contributing conservative voice in community dialogue on an ongoing basis. Many local newspapers have such a program so that readers have the opportunity to read other editorial opinions and not just the “company liberal line.” Thanks to Richard Iffert for telling us like it is. CHUCK ERICKSON Burnsville

Disgusted by $12,500 field trip To the editor: I was disgusted to hear of the $12,500 field trip for seven students and three staff members to Tampa, Fla., funded by the Lakeville school district. I voiced my disappointment in an email to the board last week after viewing the recorded meeting online. Superintendent Lisa Synder responded: “In regard to the field trip, I will have Dr. Cyndie Hays either call or respond as this was an extremely important opportunity for our district’s equity goals and has the potential to impact many students.” Well, I can’t think of anything more inequitable than spending $12,500 on seven students when I walk through my children’s school and oftentimes see students studying in hallways and classrooms that are loud and chaotic because of large class sizes. As far as impacting many students, I don’t agree that it will impact enough students whose parents pay taxes to the district. I’m not sure I would support this expenditure even if we weren’t facing $3.5 million in budget cuts. I think the majority of taxpayers in our district would agree with me on this one. I really want the next levy referendum to pass but I fear that this type of blatant disregard for taxpayer wishes will cause it to fail. I encourage all residents of the Lakeville school district to get involved. We are invited to attend to the Board of Education meetings and they can also be viewed online. Look at the budget cuts being made. After looking at all the cuts, I realize that despite my disgust for this expenditure, we do need

to pass a levy in the fall of 2013. I would encourage the Board of Education to listen to the taxpayers. Spend dollars on things that benefit more than seven students because you are going to need more than seven votes to pass a levy. APRIL HUNTSINGER Burnsville

Education first and foremost To the editor: Minnesotans got some good news last week. The February budget forecast shows a projected budget deficit of $627 million for fiscal years 2014-15, an improvement of $463 million from the November budget forecast that showed a projected deficit of $1.1 billion. Once you get past the headline that the deficit was cut by nearly $500 million, you realize we still have a more than $600 million deficit and we still owe our schools more than $800 million from past borrowing. My colleagues and I will take this good news and consider it as we work on a budget that keeps our momentum moving in the right direction for the middle class. One thing I hope to see is a renewed commitment to education from the Legislature. In 1995, Minnesota state and local school funding stood at 5 percent of incomes. This year that number is projected to be at 4 percent of incomes. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But consider that total income in Minnesota is projected to be about $250 billion. Just settling for a 4 percent level of funding for schools is to shortchange our chilSee LETTER, 5A

Orchard Lake may open Impact Academy Organizers hope to expand model to entire school in 2014-15 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Lakeville’s oldest elementary school may be the pilot site for a program that aims to transform education and could start next year if school officials approve it. Organizers hope to debut “Impact Academy” for K-3 at Orchard Lake Elementary this fall, a block schedule learning model that swaps classrooms of desks for multi-age learning levels with furniture like bean bags and tables and traditional learning for integrated studies and problem-solving activities that connect learning to real-world issues. If approved by the Lakeville School Board, the Orchard Lake Media Center would become the learning space for Impact Academy and the media center would be moved into two classrooms. Core to the education model that would be an option for Orchard Lake K-3 students in the 201314 school year, is personalized learning, where children are grouped by learning level in subjects like math and literacy, allowing them to advance at their own pace to the next module, possibly a new teacher.

LETTER, from 4A dren $2.5 billion. We certainly can’t make all that up in one year, but it helps provide context to our years of rising class sizes, rising participation fees, eliminated programs, closed schools and even four-day school weeks. The key to a vibrant future of Minnesota is a well-educated workforce.

Lakeville schools Learning Specialist Julene Oxton works with Tony Maksimov, 7, a second-grader at Orchard Lake Elmentary School. The district is also considering opening the option for families outside of the Orchard Lake area in the future, but that is complicated by transportation and elementary boundary adjustments. If Impact Academy opens and is successful, proponents are hoping the model could be implemented in the entire school for 2014-15 and allow any district family the choice of enrolling in Impact Academy. Lakeville School Board members have had several presentations about Impact Academy and are expected to make a decision whether to implement phase one at OLE for the 2013-14 school year at its March 12 meeting. Deeply connected with

“service learning,” the Impact Academy model requires the school year be divided into trimesters and encourages students to align their interests and talents to “impact” each other and the community. District information states Impact Academy “anchor teachers” would lead grade-level students in science, social studies, health and art, and “target teachers” teach literacy and math in a multi-age setting. Students could have anywhere from one to three teachers and may have the same anchor teacher for two or more years. OLE Learning Specialist Julene Oxton said the service learning aspect happens when students take what they are learn-

That begins with preschool and continues until post-secondary education. So how much of that funding gap can we make up this year? Fifteen percent? Twenty percent? Twenty-five percent? And how shall we allocate the new money we provide to help move schools to an adequate, sustainable model that begins to close the achievement gap?

These are the questions that lawmakers have to answer in the coming weeks. And I promise my constituents that I will have our children and our schools first and foremost in my thoughts as we move forward.

ing and apply it to a community need, such as a water quality issue or the elderly living alone. “Service learning has been around a long time,” Oxton said. “But this isn’t just a service project, it’s actually connected to the content of what they are learning in school.” She said she is “passionate” about the educational model because it creates a different educational experience for children and allows students to have connections with 21st century skills. Oxton and six other teachers joined to develop the proposal, originally imagined as a charter school. Staff members were informed that Impact would be at OLE in a Feb. 19 email and a Feb. 20 staff meeting. Some OLE staff members expressed concerns after the meeting. Lakeville School Board

members have recently received emails parents and staff members citing concerns regarding the lack of parental input, space issues, eliminating the quiet media center as a work space option for children, potential of the program to eliminate proven and successful educational practices and the effect Impact Academy could have on other classes. District officials responded with information that better detailed facts about the plans, and several staff meetings are planned in the school to focus on the potential changes. Advocates of the proposal include Superintendent Lisa Snyder, who in an interview said it “aligns perfectly with the district’s mission, vision and strategic plan” to allow personalized learning that retains quality education at an affordable cost.

“We know the current model is not financially sustainable,” Snyder said in an email to Sun Thisweek. “So we are looking for ideas and innovative approaches that better meet the need of the 21st Century Learner.” She said the model addresses the district’s teacher workload issues, in part by allowing teachers more time for collaboration in planning for instruction more tailored to individual student’s needs. “It provides choice for families,” Snyder said. “One size does not fit all in education, and increasingly parents want choices and customized opportunities that fit their child’s learning style and needs.” Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Exceptional Businesswomen honored March 5 Coldwell Banker Burnet president praises her own and extended family by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK

About the time when Robin Peterson started working in real estate in the 1970s, a woman could not obtain a mortgage on her own. Women needed a cosigner or grantor to obtain the loan because women’s income was “not considered stable,” said Peterson on Tuesday, March 5, during the 2013 Exceptional Businesswomen recognition banquet at Lost Spur Golf & Event Center. As the event’s featured speaker introduced the women who occupy the top leadership positions at Coldwell Banker Burnet’s Minnesota office where she serves as president, it made 1970 seem like a century ago. In addition to offering this piece of history, Peterson, an Apple Valley resident, focused on family during her remarks, whether she was talking about her parents, husband, children and grandchildren or about her extended family at Coldwell Banker Burnet. She attributed her affinity for these ties to her upbringing with a mother who lost all of her family at a young age and her father who was an only

all 10 of them. “You have to know what doesn’t work,” she said. Having managed local and regional real estate offices before ascending to her current role, Peterson has been on the hiring side of the desk many times. She said the most important ingredient she seeks in a new hire is passion. She said since we are only here for a visit in life, you have to be passionate about your career. “When you do, you will do more, you will give back to the community, and it will show to your customers,” she said. She said having passion for one’s work and personal lives is probably a common theme in the room filled with the 2013 Exceptional Businesswomen, many from the previous three classes of Exceptional Businesswomen and those there to honor them. “I would not be successful today without the support of special individuals in my life, especially my family,” Peterson said. “I treasure our time together, and we learn from each other — we learn every day.” Peterson said she thinks of her granddaughter, Karin, who was in attendance at the event, every day because when Robin was elevated to president someone told her that she would be an inspiration to a generation of granddaughters. “You are the reason I do what I do every day,” she said. Peterson also singled out her daughter, Dana, who she said she admires

as a leader, a friend and as a mother. She said her mother, who turns 90 in April, taught her to remain positive in the face of adversity after her husband died at a young age. “She never felt sorry for herself,” Peterson said. “She always shared her can-do attitude in life.” This year’s winners in the fourth class of Exceptional Businesswomen are: • Sharon Hoffman Avent, Smead Manufacturing Company president and CEO, Hastings. • Ruthe Batulis, Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce president. • Catherine Byers Breet, ARBEZ Inc. owner, Eagan. • Jeanne Hutter, Lakeville Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau director. • Rosealee Lee, Dakota County Technical College hospitality faculty member, Rosemount. • Debi McConnell, Medi-Car Auto Repair owner, Rosemount. • Patti McDonald, McDonald Eye Care Associates business administrator, Lakeville. • Susan McGaughey, Valley Natural Foods general manager, Burnsville. • Kristina Murto, Ensemble Creative & Marketing owner, Lakeville. • Linda Peterson, Beau Monde Salon owner, Burnsville. • Stacey Stratton, True Talent Group president, Apple Valley.

on amending metro area water rules The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) is seeking comments on possible amendments to the 20-year-old Minnesota Rule, Chapter 8410, which governs local water management in the sevencounty metropolitan area. The goal of the rule revision is to build on BWSR’s experience implementing the Metropolitan Water Management program by moving away from an overly prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approach to a more resultoriented framework. If the rule revision is adopted, future watershed plans would consist of periodically updated inventories and goals, and frequently updated implementation and capital improvement

Tera McKenney, 16, displays affection for the impressive 34-inch walleye the Lakeville North junior caught Feb. 18 at Lake Mille Lacs before returning it to the lake.

Reel memories Lakeville North junior hauls in a whopper by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

The result of Tera McKenney’s 3 a.m. wakeup call is planned to be memorialized at a northern Minnesota resort. The 16-year-old Lakeville North junior and her father Clark McKenney were sleeping off a disappointing no-catch day on Lake Mille Lacs on Feb. 18 when her rattle reel rang the alert. “Dad was over the hole watching the line wiggle,” Tera said. “Then the bobber started going down underneath the side of the hole, so we knew there was a fish on.” She said the fish was “chillin’ ” as she started reeling in the line, so her small expectations were shattered when she pulled up a 34-inch walleye. Her first time ice fishing, Tera was sure the

catch had been lost when the line snapped. “We thought he would just swim away, but we got his nose through the hole before that happened,” Tera said. Using pliers, she “yanked him out of the hole” and they took pictures before returning him to the lake. “We didn’t realize it was one of the biggest fish ever caught there,” Tera said. Thanks to the photos, word of Tera’s big catch spread quickly, and 40 Facebook-likes later, the resort owner said he planned to make a replica of the fish to display with her name and date of Tera’s big catch. The event helped her overcome the sting of multiple disappointments. “I feel like I’m always the one who wants to catch a fish the baddest and I never am,” she said, calling this summer the “most pitiful” she has ever had on the lake. I caught a baby bass

literally the size of my finger … and a sunny,” Tera said. Clark called the experience “pretty cool,” adding that he has never caught one that big. “That was a big surprise,” he said. “When that thing popped up through the hole, I thought holy Hannah that’s a big fish.” Memories of the experience will last a lifetime. “After catching something that big, you realize you’re going through something you’ll probably never go through again with your son or daughter,” Clark said. “I’m feeling pretty proud. It’s something you’ll probably never experience again the rest of your life.” Tera agreed. “I’m pretty sure this is the pinnacle of my fishing career,” she said.

Lakeville takes new steps to fight trafficking Video campaign part of public education effort by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Traumatized and frightened, human trafficking victims can be difficult for police to rescue. Physically abused, psychologically manipulated, isolated and threatened, those trapped in the modern-day slave trade live in overwhelming fear, enduring a severe psychological and emotional abuse similar to a domestic abuse victim. In survivalist mode, many trafficking victims feel a loyalty, gratitude or dependence on their trafficker, according to a law enforcement manual that Lakeville police plan to use in developing a training program with Adri Carlson, anti-human trafficking leader at Hosanna Church in Lakeville. Carlson, who recently organized the first Freedom Weekend event last month, met with police Chief Tom Vonhof and a team of officers Monday devising a multi-point training program for police and a plan to raise awareness in the community. The meeting was set up last month when Carl-

abuse call. Victims can be hard to help because of the brutal conditions they live under, lies they are told, and the threatened and real violence they experience. Carlson said the training gives officers tools they can employ to reach trafficking victims. “They can use a different line of questioning altogether to get to the truth of what the situation is,” Carlson said. The Lakeville Police Department’s Emmyaward winning video program, “LPD Journal,” will also be utilized to create some public service announcement videos that Vonhof said will be broadcast locally and offered free to other cable networks. “We’re very excited about that,” Vonhof said. “These are the kind of things that can run and raise public awareness.” The collaboration aims to develop an appropriate youth education component utilizing the department’s school resource officers. Human trafficking survivor Janine Montgomery, Eagan, was just 13 years old when she was gang raped, threatened and forced into prostitution while living in her parent’s Edina home.

Montgomery, who now leads New Beginnings, an outreach ministry to help human trafficking victims, said Midwestern teenagers are still targets today. Reaching those targets is made easier because modern trafficking has moved from the streets to Internet, which also creates a new marketplace of hookups that could happen anywhere from a local home, business or motel. Montgomery said online blogs and her interactions with students assure her that sex trafficking is happening in schools, including Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville. She said some girls start charging for sex to get extra “shoe money,” but become seduced by a “boyfriend” who increases mental and physical control until they are trapped in prostitution and the boyfriend emerges as their pimp. Vonhof said he hopes this new focus could help save young people from that situation. “This area of collaboration was about how to do a better job of educating our youth in terms of not letting them be victimized by this in the future,” Vonhof said. Vonhof said this kind of collaboration with “community champions

Carlson and Vonhof indicated the collaboration is just a beginning and have already set up a second meeting later this month. “We’re taking this step by step,” Vonhof said. “I’m pretty excited about this.” Vonhof said Sun Thisweek’s series on human trafficking played an important role in public education about the issue. “The series of articles did contribute to raising awareness,” he said. “I believe our efforts in education and training with our officers, will keep someone down the line from becoming a victim of human trafficking.” Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

City officials also asked Congress to require cable and satellite companies to be completely transparent about pricing on the company’s website, which includes prices and all fees that apply to the customer’s location. The city of Eagan in partnership with Burnsville had previously maintained regulatory authority over its cable franchise. In 2007, the FCC stripped them of that authority after Comcast submitted a petition to the federal regulator that stated the company could be effectively regulated by the free market. The FCC decided that cities cannot regulate cable providers if at least 15 percent of its population subscribes to a

dollars to get the road fixed when there’s nothing wrong with my road?” The city allows property owners to take up to 15 years to pay assessments of $500 or more at a 2013 interest rate of 5 percent. Gerner objected to that also and asked if the city could wait on the project. Officials said the city needs to keep up with its scheduled annual street work. “The road on Friendship Lane is in tough shape,” City Engineer Ryan Peterson said, noting that the city didn’t put off assessed road projects during worse financial conditions in 2009 and 2010. The city has gotten “a significant number of calls in this area about the condition of the streets,” Public Works Directory Steve Albrecht said. Reconstruction in the Friendship Lane area also includes 140th Street West, Thomas Avenue South, 139th Street West, Stevens Road and Shady Lane. Reconstruction in the 12th Avenue area will af-

competitor such as Dish Network. A survey at the time concluded 16.5 percent subscribe to satellite. City officials said in their letter to Congress and FCC officials, “Reduced prices was one of the most important anticipated benefits for consumers and principal rationale for the FCC’s previous deregulatory actions and imposition of limitations on local regulatory authority.” Yet, competition has failed to constrain cable prices, they say. Eagan officials argue that cable franchises have the upper hand by being able to exclusively provide cable access programming and their ability to “bundle” cable, telephone and broadband Internet services. “(Satellite’s) compe-

tition is insufficient to curb the market power of a wireline cable operator,” officials say in their letter. Eagan officials note that a recent cable price report conducted by the FCC showed the average monthly price of expanded basic cable has substantially risen statewide over the past 16 years. According to the report, the average price of expanded basic services for all cities increased on average by 6.1 percent annually between 1995 and 2011. During that same period of time, the Consumer Price Index – a measure of inflation – rose 2.4 percent annually.

fect several workplaces, including the Pepsi Bottling plant, the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority bus garage and a CenterPoint Energy gas facility. “Unfortunately, there is only one way in and out of the area, so there is no way of managing traffic by directing it to alternate routes,” said a city staff report. The city met with the major heavy vehicle operators, Pepsi and the MVTA. To best accommodate them, the work will be done from July 15 to Aug. 22. To hasten the project, the city will allow 24-hour work days, though that won’t be every day, Peterson said. “In general, it’s industrial,” he said of the surrounding area. “We would never ask for this on a residential street.” City Hall will get a new parking surface, including in the police station parking areas. The lot near the police front entrance will be pervious pavement that allows storm water to drain through the pavement rather than run off.

It will be “another stainability showcase project in the civic center campus area, along with the urban prairie along Nicollet Avenue and the geothermal system at the Ice Center,” the staff report said. Reconstruction in the 12th Avenue area also includes Rupp Drive, 115th Street East and 116th Street East. Reconstruction in the West Preserve Boulevard area also includes Ivy Terrace, Heather Crescent, Sunflower Court, Thistle Lane, Moccasin Court, 137th 1/2 Street West, Orchard Place, Iris Circle and Azalea Place. The council also ordered $534,000 in street rehabilitation projects for the Grand Avenue/Cobblestone Lane area and the 143rd Street/Burngarten Drive area. Information and updates on the projects are available through www. burnsville.org/streetrecon.

Sports Fisher proud to be Eagan’s 1st champion Senior wins Class AAA 285-pound title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Eagan High School had been open for more than 20 years but was still looking for its first state wrestling champion. Colin Fisher knew that already, and earlier this season he got a blunt reminder. “I had a little youth wrestler come up to me and ask me why on our record board in our room, there were no state champions,” Fisher recalled Saturday night. “He asked me if I was going to change that, and I said, ‘Yes sir.’ I’ve been talking to him ever since. He came and watched my section final, he’s been watching me all year. I wanted to make the little kids proud.” Fisher achieved something no one else at Eagan can ever do. No matter

how many future Wildcat wrestlers win state championships, they can never be the first. He became his school’s first state champion with a 5-3 victory over Coon Rapids’ Michael Burckhardt in the Class AAA 285-pound final Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. Burckhardt was state champion at 220 last season and had lost only one other match this year. But the longer Saturday’s match went, the more confident Fisher became. “The first period, the game plan was to weather the storm,” Fisher said. “I knew he couldn’t hold me. The second period, I shot and got him on his back. He came up breathing heavy, and I knew I had him.” Fisher (40-2) defeated Jeremy Seed of White

Bear Lake 2-1 in the first round, then pinned Luis Pinto of Prior Lake with 12 seconds remaining in their quarterfinal match. The semifinal opponent was familiar: St. MichaelAlbertville senior Michael Kessler, who also faced Fisher at last year’s state tourney. “I knew that was going to be tough,” Fisher said. “I beat him last year to medal. I knew it was going to be close, and it went into (overtime), which is kind of what I had predicted.” Fisher won 4-2 in overtime. Last year’s match between Fisher and Kessler, which took place in the wrestlebacks, also went to overtime before Fisher won.

Lightning isn’t short on state experience – in other sports Hockey team has standouts from championship squads by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

After opening in 1997, Eastview High School went almost 15 years without winning a state championship in a boys sport. Then in 2012, the Lightning bagged three titles in about five months. Flip the calendar to 2013, and another Eastview boys team is in a state tournament. This time it’s hockey, and even though the Lightning faces long odds as it seeks another title, its pedigree shouldn’t be overlooked.

a championship medal. After finishing second in the 100-yard breaststroke at the 2012 Class AA finals, Albert went back last weekend and earned the title. His time in the finals was 57.12 seconds, a career best and school record. He’s also the first Burnsville swimmer to win an event at the state boys meet since Thomas Elling won the breaststroke and 200 individual medley in 2010. “Ben was really going for our school record set by Thomas Elling at the 2010 state meet, a time of 57.49,” Burnsville coach Andrew Michelson said. “I know he was hoping to go 56, but he can’t be upset about that time at all.” Albert actually took possession of the school record in Friday’s Class AA preliminaries at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, when he swam 57.20. His finals time of 57.12 earned automatic All-America status. He was more than one second faster than the runner-up. Albert also reached the championship final in the 200 individual medley and placed third in 1:54.82. He was ninth in the same race at state last year. His performance was a big reason why Burnsville, which went 2-7 in South Suburban Conference dual meets, was able to place 12th at the state meet. He earned almost half of the Blaze’s 74 team points in his two individual events. Burnsville earned 24 more points in the 200

Everyone dropped time from our section meet and we were happy to make top eight.” Kollasch placed seventh in the 200 IM in 1:58.02 and was 10th in the 100 backstroke in 52.94. Albert and Kollasch were part of a small group of seniors on a Burnsville team that was loaded with youth. “With so many younger guys on the team, I think they have learned that it takes true dedication to the sport of swimming and a great focus to reach the levels that Ben and Charlie are at,” Michelson said. “I know that most of them ended their high school season and went right back to the pool swimming for Black Dog Swim Club. We already have a lot of motivation from our younger guys go-

Eagan Divers Keith Krawza and Toby Heller helped push the Wildcats to 13th in the team standings at the state meet. Krawza, a senior, was third with 360.40 points and Heller, a junior, scored 358.60 to finish fourth. Krawza was seventh in last year’s state meet. Another South Suburban Conference diver, Rosemount junior Daniel Monaghan, won the 2013 Class AA championship with 413.10 points. Wildcats senior Bill Leighton reached the championship heat in the 50 freestyle and placed seventh in 21.59. Eagan also made the championship final in the 200 freestyle relay and took seventh with sophomore Sam Zenner, junior Max Griesgraber, ninth-grader Tal Shub, and Leighton. Their time was 1:28.44. Eagan sophomore Eli Broman was 11th in the 200 individual medley in 1:58.42. The Wildcats finished with 73 points, one behind South Suburban Conference rival Burnsville. SSC See SWIM, 12A

Burnsville hockey players Jack Ahcan (10), Nic Anderson and Ian Taylor look on dejectedly during the awards ceremony following the Blaze’s 3-2 loss to Edina in the Section 2AA championship game at Mariucci Arena.

Blaze finds more frustration in section playoff contest Edina ends Burnsville’s boys hockey season again by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

When Burnsville gets to the Section 2AA championship game, history tends to repeat itself. And that’s a problem for the Blaze, which has seen this story over and over. A 3-2 loss to Edina on Feb. 27 at Mariucci Arena was the latest in a string of close defeats in the section tourney. After Burnsville’s last state tournament appearance in 2007, the school was moved to Section 2AA for boys hockey. In the six years the Blaze has been in the section, it has reached

the final four times and lost each game to Edina. Three of those section title game losses were by one goal, including last week’s game. Edina (22-6), which has qualified for state seven years in a row, played in the Class AA quarterfinals Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. “I thought overall we played well,” Burnsville coach Janne Kivihalme said. “We made a couple of mistakes, didn’t pick up guys in our zone, and it cost us two goals.” Edina coach Curt Giles sounded relieved to get

past Burnsville again. “Burnsville came out and did the things they do,” Giles said. “They’re a good team and they put us on our heels for a while. “The good thing about our kids is they don’t panic. They needed to make adjustments, and they adjusted.” Junior forward Tyler Sheehy energized the Burnsville fans early by scoring 2:31 into the game. Edina tied it less than three minutes later on Andy Jordahl’s one-timer from the slot. See BLAZE, 12A

12A March 8, 2013 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

Lightning’s section title is a shocker

state last season. “When you’ve placed at state the year before, you know you can compete with the best,” Eagan head coach Chad Gage said. “I think he had (winning a state championship) as a goal in the back of his mind.” Fisher said the biggest difference was being in better condition. “At heavyweight, conditioning makes the biggest difference,” he said. “All the running in the off-season, all the extra sprints, lifts, push-ups, runs after practice – it all paid off.” Said Gage: “He listens, that’s the biggest thing. But he’s also a very smart kid. It helps that he has some smarts on his side.” It’s not easy for a program such as Eagan’s to operate when there’s a national powerhouse – Apple Valley – just down the road. But, finally breaking

through and getting a state champion can only help, Gage said. “We do have a good program in Eagan,” the coach said. “We know how to produce kids who are going to place in the state. We just need other people to believe in what our program’s all about. “When you get something like (Fisher’s state title), it’s going to get other kids to see there’s hope. When they see that hard work pays off, it inspires kids. Those Eagan kids who were sitting out there tonight, hopefully they’re saying, ‘I want to be that kid.’” Fisher, meanwhile, is interested in a collegiate wrestling career, and his state championship might draw some attention. “I sure hope so. That’s what I’ve heard,” he said. “I’m highly considering it. This is a big stepping stone to getting to the next level.”

Eagan junior Naser Ali (106) and senior Kevin Martinez (195) also wrestled at the state tournament. Each lost his firstround match. They did not get into the wrestlebacks because their firstround opponents lost in the quarterfinals. Ali finished 27-15 and Martinez was 25-17. “Kevin’s season ended last year coming up short of the state tournament. He hit the weights and was in our room a lot (in the off-season),” Gage said. “The experience of getting to state this year, nobody can take that away from him. “Naser’s a junior, so maybe he can set his goals a little higher next season.”

“It just seemed like we started to come together,” said junior defenseman Pierce Erickson, who played forward for Eastview’s state boys soccer championship team last fall. “Our ‘D’ zone got better, and it created more scoring opportunities for us, too.” Winning the Rochester Kiwanis tournament in late December bolstered the team’s confidence, McNamara said, as did beating Eagan and Prior Lake in back-to-back South Suburban Conference games in January. At the time, Eagan and Prior Lake were in the top 12 of the Let’s Play Hockey state rankings. The Lightning is built on speed and quickness more than size and thunderous hitting. McNamara, who’s 5-foot-8, had 22 goals and 19 assists going into the state tournament. Junior Jake McGlocklin is a 15-goal scorer. Nick Abbott scored a natural hat trick of shorthanded goals in a game in Rochester in December, and John Snodgrass scored two goals in the section final

against Eagan. Erickson and senior Mitch Beattie (another lacrosse player) lead a group of defensemen who are good at moving the puck to Eastview’s skilled forwards. Beattie has 18 assists and 23 points this season, and Erickson has 15 assists and 17 points. And the Lightning has a goalie capable of stealing a victory, as Driscoll did on Jan. 12 when he made 64 saves in a 4-2 victory at Eagan. Fans were slow to warm to the Lightning when the team struggled early in the season. Obviously the interest is much higher now, and McNamara said the team wants to show its fans they were wise to jump on board. “Once we started winning, more people started jumping on the bandwagon,” McNamara said. “And that’s fine with us. We welcome them.”

France, Jackson Scholberg and Seth Berry finished in 1:39.19. All are seniors except Olson, who’s a sophomore. France made the consolation finals in two individual events. He finished 13th in the 200 individual medley in 1:59.53 and 12th in the 100 freestyle in 47.80.

The Eagles scored 23 points, good for 23rd place in the Class AA team competition.

Driscoll stymies Eagan in championship game by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK

Hockey fans know a hot goalie can carry a team a long way in the playoffs. And right now, it’s hard to imagine any goalie being hotter than Eastview sophomore Zach Driscoll. Eastview rode Driscoll’s standout play to its second trip to the state boys tournament and first since 2001. Driscoll made 37 saves and junior forward John Snodgrass had two goals and an assist as the Lightning upset Eagan 4-1 in the Section 3AA final Feb. 28 at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum. Eagan was fourth in the final Let’s Play Hockey Class AA boys rankings, while Eastview was not in the top 20. It was not the first time Eagan, which took a 13game winning streak into the section final, has been confounded by Driscoll. Before the section final, Eagan’s last loss was 4-2 to Eastview on Jan. 12, a night when Driscoll made 64 saves. Driscoll, who became Eastview’s starting goalie BLAZE, from 11A “That goal gave us some life,” Kivihalme said. “Our guys were pretty quiet at that point and that goal gave us a little energy.” The Hornets’ Dan Hinueber scored with 3:28 left in the first when the Blaze misplayed the puck, leaving Hinueber with a tap-in into an open net. Edina made it 3-1 at 11:14 of the second when a pass to the front of the net was deflected by the Blaze defense but caromed to Cullen Munson, who scored on a one-timer. Sheehy brought the Blaze back within one when he intercepted an Edina breakout pass and scored on a wrist shot high to Willie Benjamin’s glove side. Burnsville didn’t have a lot of scoring chances in the third, save for Teemu Kivihalme’s shot that just

in late December, shut out Rosemount and Apple Valley in the Lightning’s first two Section 3AA games. He stopped 85 of 86 shots in the section tournament for a .988 save percentage. He’s 154-1 this season with a 1.65 goals-against average and .945 save percentage. Eastview (18-9-1) jumped ahead on Snodgrass’ first goal 7:11 into the game. Driscoll kept it 1-0 with a sprawling save on Eagan forward Zach Glienke’s breakaway attempt, then the Lightning’s Cole Cooper made it 2-0 at 12:02 of the first. Jake McGlocklin scored early in the second period and Snodgrass got his second goal of the game at 10:06 of the third. Glienke, the South Suburban Conference’s scoring leader, broke up the shutout with his 32nd goal of the season with 4:28 to play. Junior defenseman Pierce Erickson had two assists for the Lightning. Eastview was 4-5 going into the holiday break but is 14-4-1 since. The Lightmissed the far post with about three minutes remaining. The Blaze got a power play with two minutes left when Edina’s Matt Nelson took a hooking penalty in the defensive zone. In the final minute Burnsville gave up a 2-on-0 breakaway. Cole Borchardt, trying to catch the puck carrier, took a slashing penalty with 39 seconds to play. The Blaze’s final shot by Anthony Rikberg, who came on when goalie Chris Mallon went to the bench, was blocked by Benjamin. So the Blaze, which finished 17-10-1, will spend another off-season trying to figure out what it has to do to clear the final obstacle in Section 2AA. One thing that will help is most of the players are eligible to return next year; the team graduates six seniors (goalies Mallon and Nic Anderson, defense-

EAGAN, from 11A

ning had a slow start in South Suburban Conference play but rebounded to finish 9-7-1 in the league for fifth place. Eagan (23-4-1) won the South Suburban convincingly, finishing six points ahead of second-place Burnsville. The Wildcats were trying to reach the state tournament for the third consecutive year. Eastview played HillMurray in the Class AA quarterfinals Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. That game took place after this edition went to press; for an update, visit www.sunthisweek.com. In its only other state tournament appearance in 2001, Eastview won two of three games and took the consolation trophy. Lakeville North, the Section 1AA champion, is the other South Suburban team to qualify for the Class AA tourney.

tion of carbon monoxide in the home. Residents should check the outside vents to ensure they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered with snow or ice. Residents who experience flu-like symptoms only when at home should arrange for a carbon monoxide check from their local emergency agency immediately. People who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already using a carbon monoxide detector should strongly consider purchasing one, said Minnesota Energy officials.

Residents also should be wary of the condition of gas meters. Snow and ice buildup around gas meters, could lead to meter damage and a disruption in energy service. In particular, homes and businesses that have snow plowed driveways, parking lots or access roads, should ensure plow operators do not push wet, heavy snow into gas meters. The meters could become damaged causing service interruptions or, potentially, a natural gas leak.

BUGLARY, from 1A and Muelken burglarized several homes during the early hours of Feb. 22. While rummaging in the garage of an Eagan home at about 2:45 a.m., the two men awoke the owner, who looked out his window and reported seeing Fischer and Muelken run from his garage to a pickup truck parked on the street. The homeowner called police, who noticed upon arrival that the garage service door had been pried open. Officers discovered two sets of footprints in the freshly fallen snow that led from the garage to the pickup truck. They followed the tracks to the truck and to Fischer and Muelken nearby. Upon seeing the officers, both men allegedly ran, and officers chased them through the neighborhood. When they reached the 4300 block of Andromeda Way, Fischer and Muelken allegedly broke into another garage and stole a minivan. Officers quickly noticed the van driving out of the neighborhood with its headlights off. A squad car caught up to the van at Wilderness Run Road in Eagan and attempted to pull the two men over. The van raced through the neighborhood and turned west onto Diffley Road, where it continued at speeds of about 75 mph. Eventually, the driver lost control and crashed the van near the intersection of Diffley and Blackhawk roads. After crashing the van, Fischer and Muelken allegedly ran about a fourth of a mile before being arrested. A police investigation revealed the pickup truck the men parked outside the Eagan home had been stolen from a Burnsville home. Inside the truck, officers found numerous stolen items including a snow blower, computers, electronics and cash. Muelken and Fischer allegedly damaged a third vehicle while stealing the minivan from the Eagan garage. Both men have lengthy criminal histories. Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record includes theft and first-, second- and third-degree burglary convictions between 2007 and 2012. Muelkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prior convictions include first- and second-degree burglary, receiving stolen property and felony check forgery between 2005 and 2012. Both are being held without bail at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings and are scheduled to appear in court on March 19. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

ANGER, from 1A Anger created the idea 10 years ago, when he was first hired as Red Pineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal, as a way to encourage positive behavior and curb negative actions. Though the school doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep definite data, Anger said, anecdotally heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noticed students making a positive change due to the incentive of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fine diningâ&#x20AC;? experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to recognize kids who follow the rules,â&#x20AC;? Anger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a school our size it could get easy to not get recognized.â&#x20AC;? Red Pine has 954 students in grades kindergarten through five. Rewarding positive behavior is a key piece of Angerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy. Among other positive reinforcement measures, classes which behave at lunch and recess can receive a visit from Anger who reads them a book. Each book typically is aimed at teaching positive behavior such as curbing bullying. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

relationship development. You don’t want to be exchanging business cards during a disaster.” Carlson began his police career in 1980, working in Dodge Center and Marshall before coming to Burnsville in 1986. He was on patrol until 1993, when he was named the department’s planning, training and research officer. Carlson was promoted to sergeant in 1998. He was emergency management coordinator from 2006 to 2010, when he retired from the Police Department. Carlson then established himself as a private consultant. The county hired him to work with Gisch and municipal emergency managers on special projects and on developing emergency exercises for responders. As the county’s point man on emergency preparedness, Carlson said his role is to establish relationships with cities and help in any way possible. “I certainly hope to meet with all the police and fire chiefs, gain a perspective on how we can be collaborative in planning for future emergencies,” Carlson said. “They’ll know that the county is here to help them in any way that they want and are comfortable with.”

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 8, 2013 19A

Thisweekend ‘Turn Here Sweet Corn’ chronicles Eagan family’s farm saga Author and organic farming advocate Atina Diffley featured at March 19 library event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK

Though the land the Diffley family farmed for more than a hundred years in the Eagan area has since been relinquished to suburban development, Atina Diffley believes the family’s farming tradition will continue well into the future. She and husband Martin now run Organic Farming Works, a consulting business, from their new farm in Eureka Township. Plus, “I have a 9-yearold grandson who seems to want to farm – and I believe him,” she said. Diffley, who chronicles the drama involved in running a family farm in her book “Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works,” will be at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library on March 19 as part of the “Meet the Author” series sponsored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. “Turn Here Sweet Corn” brings to light the successes – and many challenges – of life on a family farm. Diffley and husband Martin started Gardens of Eagan in 1973 on Martin’s family land in Eagan, and it was one of the first certified organic produce farms in the Midwest. Along with loss of land to suburban development,

the couple also faced the threat of eminent domain for a crude oil pipeline proposed by Koch Industries. The legal David-versusGoliath drama in “Turn Here Sweet Corn” is paired with instruction in organic farming and Diffley’s emphasis on maintaining a connection to the land. “Fundamentally, the message is about food, food security and our relationship with the land,” she said. “In Eagan, we actually witnessed an ecological collapse (as surrounding land was developed). “We learn in the fourth grade how we’re dependent on the ecosystem, but I didn’t really understand it until I saw it happen.”

Atina Diffley and husband Martin started Gardens of Eagan in 1973 on Martin’s family land in Eagan, and it was one of the first certified organic produce farms in the Midwest. Along with loss of land to suburban development, the couple also faced the threat of eminent domain for a crude oil pipeline. The Diffleys left their Eagan land in 1989 to make way for a housing development and a school. In 2008, they sold the Gardens of Eagan name to the Wedge Community Coop. In addition to Diffley’s book, the family’s farming experience has been chronicled in a documentary by filmmaker Helen DeMichiel, also titled “Turn Here Sweet Corn.”

The “Meet the Author” event at the Robert Trail Library is at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, and Open Monday admission is free. thru Saturday, More about Diffley and “Turn Here Sweet Corn” is 11 am to 9 pm at www.atinadiffley.com.
